Abstract

A connector unit is described comprising a base unit 12 and a connector module 10, the base unit 12 comprising a module receiving means 14 for accepting the connector module 10, the connector module 10 including at least one IDC connector 36 for making electrical connection with a wire 48 and a wire receiving means 26 for retention of a wire 48, wherein the connector module 10 is such that insertion thereof into the base unit 12 causes the IDC 36 connector to move relative to the wire receiving means 26 thereby to make electrical connection between the IDC connector 36 and a wire 48 in the wire receiving means 26. <IMAGE>
